For what cause God hath commanded us to pray one for an other.
For vvhat cause God hath commaunded vs to pray one for an other.
M. IF then God do hear us when we our selves pray for us, whereunto do the prayers of others serve us?
M. IF then God doe heare vs when wée our selues pray for vs, whervnto do the prayers of others serue vs?
P. There be chiefly two points to consider in that.
M. Which is the first?
P. I have already touched it as by the way, that god commandeth us to pray one for another as an exercise of our faith towards him, & of the charity which we ought to practise the one towards the others. For he is greatly pleased when we do declare by effect that we have care for our brethren as we have for our selves, & that we recommend them by these our prayers, as our selves, knowing that they be aswell theirs as ours, & that we have this confidence in him, that he will hear the prayers which we make for them, as he will do those which we make for our selves.
